- Her mothers best friend, a nurse
- School Principal
- Her grandmother
- Guidance counselor
Correct Answer

A. Her grandmother

Explanation

Kourtney should not use her grandmother as a reference because typically references should be individuals who can provide professional or academic insight into her abilities and qualifications.

David has to list references for his application. Who should he not use?
- His girlfriend

David should not use his girlfriend as a reference because it may create a conflict of interest and bias in the hiring process. Hiring managers typically prefer professional references who can provide objective assessments of an applicant's skills and qualifications.

- True

The fact that Mary hired someone based on a personal connection rather than considering the qualifications and abilities of all the candidates indicates a biased decision-making process. This decision may not have been fair or objective, and it could potentially overlook more qualified individuals. Therefore, the statement "Mary made a selection biased choice" is true.

Explanation

The answer is "Now hiring. Must have a resume, must be of African American decent. No persons over age 40 please. Must have a drivers license."
